First off, we want to begin with some links for write ups that we did previously on this plot: During Event 007 | Follow Up. The big takeaway is that this is all legal in terms of the world's structure (and therefore, its evils). It's just that this happens a lot more abruptly and horribly for the families in New Beijing because of the quotas involved.
That's not to say that there isn't a plot involved! Wealthy people are more likely to be approved for an adoption under this arrangement - it's just that the Black Market wouldn't be in play. They would instead be tackling the NBPD and its ills, as well as the corrupt officers who believe they can intervene in the lives of those who live in poverty. Tim and Klaus can choose to work with Morningstar and the sex workers there, or go their own way.
The world's structures and laws largely only favor the wealthy being able to raise children. It's one of the world's evils, and they could, for example, look at ways of finding out who's looking to adopt and sabotage them so they aren't approved. They can also look into retrieving children long adopted out and reunite them with their families.
All of this would take a lot of legwork and would be a rather lengthy sidequest, so let us know what you'd like to do.
